Your list is missing all the color codes for 256 color terminals.
e.g. ^[[38;5;0;48;15;0m

What is this meant to do? If I'm reading it correctly, it would:

  1. 38;5;0 - set foreground color to 0 (black)
  2. 48;15;0 - try to set a background color but fail, since 15 isn't a valid option (should be 2 for RGB, 5 for 256 color), and discard 0

256-colors are set using the format 38;5;{index}m for foreground, 48;5;{index}m for background.

I'm looking for a table with the rgb values.

I use this in my library, it should be accurate (by standard) but terminals (and their users) have a tendency to mess with the defaults.
